Green weddings are my personal favourite in new ways to go green. Considering how much money, time, effort, money you spend on the day, not to mention harm to the environment through travel, decorations, and things you only use once, it is great to hear of ways to save money and help the earth. Some tips are: buying a used dress/tux or buying one that you can wear again, using recycled paper for invitations, using local organic flowers, and taking an eco-honeymoon. Used dresses are available by the hundreds on craigslist and ebay. Brides are also selling unused or leftover party favours, vases, decorations, veils, ribbon, flower-girl baskets, etc, etc. at often very low prices. You can search garage sales and pick up funky vases (or jars or teapots) to use as centre pieces. Try giving away homemade or consumable party favours such as organic sugar cookies that you know are not going to be thrown out on the way home. And then, when you are done with the big day, pass your stuff along to other brides who might like to go (and save) a little green. More: http://www.ecomall.com/greenshopping/greenwedding.htm
